CVE-2021-44355Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated reboot via malformed SetMdAlarm parameter

Published Apr 14, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025

Improper input validation in Reolink RLC-410W 3.0.0.136_20121102 allows remote attackers to reboot the camera via an HTTP request. The cgiserver.cgi SetMdAlarm parser assumes the JSON param value is an object and applies the subscription operator to a string, reaching an assertion. No login or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation interrupts camera monitoring while the device reboots.
